Charge your iPhone® 5, iPad mini®, or other newer Apple device in your vehicle with this Car Charger with Lightning™ Connector from Monoprice!

This car charger is designed for use with the newer Apple products that use the Lightning connector. It produces up to 1 amp of 5VDC charging power. A red LED indicates when power is applied to the charger. The cable is about 38" long. The cable mounting point on the charger swivels up to 45 degrees, reducing strain on the connection.

Apple, iPod, iPhone, and iPad are trademarks of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries. Lightning is a trademark of Apple Inc.

Pros: Charges well - when it works. No "unsupported device" errors encountered.

Cons: It turns out that this device is only covered by a 1-year warranty. Broke just after the year.

When it worked - for a year - it was great.

Of course, the device failed just after 1 year had passed. Now, the red power light will not illuminate when plugged into a known-good power source. We also experienced the Lightning connector coming apart as other reviewers have referenced, but this did not affect the unit's performance until the entire unit failed.

Still some flaws with product design

Pros: Great charger for the money, works every time it's plugged in without fail, long enough cord for car use, looks sharp

Cons: Cord frays and breaks easily, to get a replacement I have to spend extra money to mail back broken unit? Would be a better buy if it were a detachable USB charger.

The cable on this charger breaks apart right where it meets the rigid connector. The little rubber sleeve that is used to prevent the cable from being bent doesn't extend all the way into the connector and thus creating a weak spot which after a short while of normal becomes loose exposing the little wires inside. Once this happens it is only a matter of time until the thin wires fray and break. This happened to me on the second charger now after only a couple of months of use. The sleeve needs to be extended all the way into the charger and have a lip at the end or the connector end of the charger should be molded like the opposite end of where the cable meets the cigarette lighter adapter.
